Title
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp()
sip_help_tcp() stores the size change of each NAT-rewritten SIP message
in s16 diff and accumulates it in s16 tdiff, but a single message can
grow by more than S16_MAX while the packet stays under the 65535
enlarge_skb() limit: nf_nat_sip() rewrites every matching URI, and a long
Contact list expands the message by tens of kilobytes. diff then wraps,
and "datalen = datalen + diff - msglen" yields a huge unsigned datalen,
so the next iteration's ct_sip_get_header() reads past the linearized skb
tail.
Widen diff, tdiff and the seq_adjust hook to s32. Both are bounded by the
65535 byte packet limit, and the seqadj core is already s32
(nf_ct_seqadj_set() takes s32), so no previously accepted input is
rejected.

This is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or cross-tenant boundary violation.\nC:H - Integer overflow yields a huge unsigned datalen, causing ct_sip_get_header() to read past the linearized skb tail; KASAN reports a use-after-free read, and this out-of-bounds/UAF access can disclose adjacent kernel heap memory beyond the packet buffer.\nI:H - Although the immediate fault is a read past skb bounds, KASAN-classified UAF/out-of-bounds kernel heap corruption is exploitable with heap grooming for control of freed/reallocated objects, enabling arbitrary write and potential code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The corrupted datalen drives out-of-bounds access in softirq packet processing (ksoftirqd), which can cause kernel oops/panic and denial of service on the NAT/firewall handling the SIP flow; the bug is reliably triggerable with crafted packets."

This is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or cross-tenant boundary violation.\nC:H - Integer overflow yields a huge unsigned datalen, causing ct_sip_get_header() to read past the linearized skb tail; KASAN reports a use-after-free read, and this out-of-bounds/UAF access can disclose adjacent kernel heap memory beyond the packet buffer.\nI:H - Although the immediate fault is a read past skb bounds, KASAN-classified UAF/out-of-bounds kernel heap corruption is exploitable with heap grooming for control of freed/reallocated objects, enabling arbitrary write and potential code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The corrupted datalen drives out-of-bounds access in softirq packet processing (ksoftirqd), which can cause kernel oops/panic and denial of service on the NAT/firewall handling the SIP flow; the bug is reliably triggerable with crafted packets."
